Sound bar not set up
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I paid in advance for installation of the soundbar. when the Geek Squad technician came out to mount my TV above the fireplace, the soundbar did not need to be mounted as it sits on the mantle perfectly. However, I have been unable to get the $49.99 charge credited back to my account. The technician was great, but make sure you don't pay for services in advance that you might not need as they don't want to apply a refund!

Less than
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I do not know a word for less than basic. To connect audio to surround sound in one room! Takes about an hour. Lie again, did not connect components to audio. Wanted more money (marketing) to buy the anything happens we will fix for malarkey was more important than hooking up components. Total rip OFF!!!

Terrible Geek squad remote support
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don’t sign up for the Geek squad tech support they try to sell you at the store. Terrible customer service outsourced to India. Not worth it. Don’t waste your money. I’ve been trying to cancel the service for the past two days. They keep telling me that I should be receiving an email confirmation for the cancellation but so far I haven’t received one.

Little instruction for use given
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.TV was delivered, plugged in and connected to cable. No help in use. Hours spent connecting to Wi-Fi and Google account. Still trying to learn how to access web-sites I was told would be available. No instruction book. Internet help difficult to reach. Long wait for return visit to connect existing surround system, only to be told it was incompatible with new TV without additional new cables.

Terrible
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Failed to show up two (2) times without calling. As a result, I had to take three (3) days off of work instead of one (1). I blame Best Buy, not the Geek Squad.

Remote doesn't work all the time
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Should be able to use one remote for all components. Tech suggested that I purchase another remote(?)
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from GeekSquadSupport
Posted .Thanks for uploading your review! We want your TV lounging time to be as stress-free as possible, so I can understand why having one remote for all components would be ideal. That said, I can understand why it would be frustrating to have someone come out only to learn you don't have the remote needed for set up. We'd be more than happy to point you in the right direction for a remote that will meet your needs, so we can schedule for someone to come back out. I recommend working with your local store to find the right remote for you, or calling 1 (888) BEST-BUY or 1 (888) 237-8289 for one of our sales reps to help you out. Once you have the correct remote for the job, a Geek Squad rep at (800) GEEK-SQUAD or (800) 433-5778 should be able to assist with getting that service rescheduled.

I never asked for a new connection.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was only asking for help to get an existing sound bar purchased at Best Buy, still under warranty, reconnected. Not a new set up. Two guys spent three minutes. I paid $79. This happened after my phone help was limited to unplug and replug device in.
